Anyone ever heard the “Titanic was sunk on purpose” theory?

This is the theory:

TLDR version: the ship was intentionally sunk by an explosion in order to ensure the creation of the Federal Reserve (and possibly also an insurance scam).

Three of the richest men in the world were on the titanic: John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus. Some say they were major roadblocks to a private central bank. JP Morgan supposedly paid for them and their families trip on the Titanic. Morgan, by the way it was in favor of the Federal Reserve.

Morgan was reportedly set to sail, then bailed at the last second with an “illness.” Yet he’s spotted in France days later looking fine.

The Titanic went down in April 1912. The Federal Reserve Act passes December 1913, during the holidays when a lot of Congress was away.

There’s a long-running rumor that Titanic got swapped with its damaged sister ship, Olympic. Supposedly, they sank the damaged one, collected insurance, and solved multiple “problems” at once.

Lookouts didn’t have binoculars because the locker key was “lost.” The claim is that is that it was a convenient sabotage to keep eyes off the danger until it’s too late.

The Californian was nearby, saw distress rockets, and didn’t move in time. The boat was also not equipped with red flares to signal rescue boats nearby. There are equipped with white flares, which looks like something related to the types of fireworks shot off at parties.

Also, the iceberg was supposedly hit at one of the deepest parts of the ocean, and they could not find the iceberg after the collision.

The Titanic probably had a lot of food on it. Yummy Yummy food. Food is good in my belly. Yum Yum. Comfy bed. Yummy food. Yum Yum. Slight tilt. Big Ice Berg. Ice Cream and good Food. Yum Yum.

ETA: Yum Yum theory. Best I got. Some believe and some don’t.

It was a luxury liner. It was going to attract very wealthy people looking to cross the Atlantic.

Coincidence, and how could any of that be proven?

No way that goes unnoticed by the dock crews and insurance companies.

Reaching, where in the accounts does it say there were no binoculars? Also, would they have mattered at night?

So everyone on another ship had to be in on it and not say anything?

Its a big ocean, even bigger at the turn of the century. Also, im fairly certain a photo of the iceberg exists.

Edit: see photo below

A steward on the Prince Adalbert snapped this photograph on April 15 - the day the Titanic sank - because he noticed red and black paint smeared on the side of the berg. While there are others that are believed to be a suspect, the consensus is this was the iceberg that sank Titanic.

I’ve read it.
I CAN totally believe it, but haven’t ingested that much research to it.
However, witnessing the mountain of bullshite and propaganda of the modern era, I don’t doubt there was some shenanigans going on.
Fed reserve creation led way for perpetual war and debt.

Titantic research with deep dive manned vehicles like Alvin and Mir, plus Rov video and detailed multi beam high resolution sonar surveys, identified longitudinal hull breach scars below the water line that flooded what where thought to be water tight components.

The research is publicly available with a Google search, including the multi beam sonar mosaic which is remarkably impressive.







Metal eating bacteria and salt water corrosion will destroy Titanic's remnants by 2040. Ultimately, Titanic will disappear, turning into a dispersed cloud of rust particles on the ocean floor, a natural end for sunken metal ships. The bronze propellors will survive.

Why didn't that old lady let Leo get on the raft? There was plenty of room.

Yeah.

Pretty much.

It's the same as the "We Never Really Went To The Moon" theory, or the "Paul McCartney Died And Was Replaced By William Shears" theory, or the theory that old pictures prove that time travel is possible, or the Chem-Trail, Black Helicopters, and various plane crash theories, the Deepwater Horizon theory, the New Coke theory, the "Nero/Elvis/Jim Morrison Faked His Own Death" theory, the theory that the government controls the weather, etc., etc., etc.

They're all pretty much the same. Just the minor details are different.
